MLB: Cleveland Indians-Media Day

MLB: Spring Training-Media Day

Hello Everybody. It looks like MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is getting involved in the Chief Wahoo Debate. He is pressuring the Cleveland Indians Organization.

Manfred has been in talk with the owner of the Cleveland Indians Paul Dolan.

Dolan and Manfred have been in talks since last season.

Manfred released a statement on Tuesday saying.

" I have been in talks with the Cleveland Indians organization and front office in asking them to remove Chief Wahoo form the Ballpark. I hope we can resolve this issue someway somehow because Paul Dolan is a good man and a great owner and he sticks up for his players nd everybody that works under him."

Indians Owner Paul Dolan said this to reporters on Tuesday.

"I am working with commissioner Manfred. I have already started the process of taking down Chief Wahoo from the Ballpark. He's not seen as much as he used to be. We now have the Block "C" on most of our merchandise and we will continue to work with the commissioner's office on resolving this issue."

There were protests outside of Progressive Field on Tuesday when the Indians had their home opener. One person said " we are people, we are not a Logo and we are not made for making money for an organization like this at all." 

The Indians have been awarded the 2019 All-Star Game. But their have been some people that have wanted the Indians Nick-Name to be changed because they find it offensive. The Indians Fans have not Backed Down at all and are standing tall against that idea.

Now The Indians may takedown Chief Wahoo but it won't solve the problem completely. Here's my take, You Can take down Chief Wahoo from the Ballpark and replace it with a Block "C" but you know it. If you live in Cleveland or if you are an Indians fan you know good and well that somebody will bring Chief Wahoo to the Ballpark.

So this goes out to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. Commissioner Manfred I know you are pressuring the Cleveland Indians Organization to take down Chief Wahoo form Progressive Field. However if you come to Cleveland you will find Indians fans wearing shirts, Hats, or whatever the case maybe, and let me tell you this it will have Chief Wahoo on it. You might get the Indians to take down the Chief but you will find fans that will bring him to the ballpark someway somehow. And one last thing Commissioner Manfred I would like for you to come to Cleveland because we take our sports seriously including the Indians and you will see fans with are icon on it and you see fans that have seen the Indians play for many years.

You Might get some of what you want. However you will not get everything you want when it comes to the Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo. If you Smell What the Big Man's a Cooking.
